Catch of the day
It was in the evening, tv time for the Sertori family. Everyone was sitting on a couch in front of the tv, except for Sonic, and they were watching a documentary about sharks.
Mr Sertori was a navy blue hedgehog with orange eyes and back swept spikes. He was a very skilled and appreciated fisherman in Emerald Coast. Mrs Sertori was more of a 'stay at home' tipe, and she had the same quill style as her husband but her fur was pale yellow and her eyes were green. Lilly was just staring at the screen where a big white shark was hunting down a bank of fish.
"Nasty." Mr Sertori stated. "You don't want to mess with one of those."
"Heve you ever seen a great white dad?" Lilly asked, eyes wide.
"Only once. It took half of my catch and shredded my net. You don't want to mess with them. They'll rip you to bits. Tiny bits. Tini-wini tiny bits." he said dramatically.
While they were watching tv, it was Sonic's turn to do the dishes... Again. He was standing in front of the sink with a towel in his hands. He couldn't do it. It would be to dangerous. He walked to the couch.
"Lilly. Lilly!" he called with a low voice.
His little sister noticed him and stood up. She followed Sonic to the sink.
"Uhh, dishes?!" Sonic whispered like it was obvious what she had to do.
Lilly smiled mischievously.
"Ten rings."
"What?" Sonic asked shocked but still keeping a low tone. "You only asked for five to do them yesterday!"
"Well, if you want me to keep doing your chores, then my price was gone up. And besides, I want to watch tv. So, ten rings."
Sonic frowned. His sister could be so stubborn sometimes.
"No way." he refused categorically.
"Whats up with you anyways? I know you are scared of water but this ridiculous!"
"Hey Sonny!" their dad called. "Come and see this!"
"Fine, I'll pay you later." Sonic shot his sister a death glare and walked to the couch.
"Watch this!" he smiled. "This is the best part! Feeding frenzy."
The screen showed how the great white shark was tearing through the fish, coloring the water with blood. Sonic felt like he was about to vomit.
"How can you even watch this stuff???" he asked in disgust and climbed up stairs.
'This is getting worse.' Sonic thought.
In the morning, under the sea
Silver and Shadow were swimming again. It became some sort of habit. Every morning they would go swimming. In their opinion, it was kind of a refresher. And it was really fun trying new swimming tricks and playing with the dolphins. They discovered that they could hold their breath an unusually long time. Now they were convinced to time themselves.
They also discovered, that they could talk to each other using telepathy. Silver was the one that discovered that.
'15 and 54, 15 and 55, 15 and 56...' Shadow was counting how long he could hold it. '15 and 59, 16!!! Can you believe this?'
'No way!' Silver smiled. 'This is amazing!'
'Pitty that Sonic isn't here with us.' Shadow said.
'Yeah...Hey, race you to the surface?' Silver proposed.
'Hmph, too easy for me.' the ebony hedgehog smirked. 'I'll beat you for shure.'
'You think?' Silver pushed it and they both disappeared in a trail of bubbles.
At Marble Café
"You guys won't believe it." Shadow told Tails, Knuckles and Amy while they were sitting down at the table.
"What?" Amy asked curiously.
"We timed ourselves and guess how long we can hold our breath for." Silver continued. "Sixteen and a half minutes!" he finished and high fived with Shadow that was sitting next to him.
"Wow! That's awesome!" Tails said.
"We probably could've hold it longer if we really tried but, yeah it's pretty cool!" Shadow admitted.
"Hey Sonic!" Knuckles called as soon as we saw the blue hedgehog approaching them. "Guess what. These guys can hold their breath for SIXTEEN MINUTES!"
"Knuckles!!!"
"Sorry." the crimson echidna apologized.
"Oh. Nice. So what's going on?" Sonic asked and sat down.
"We've been... You know... Swimming." Shadow said.
Once he heard about swimming, Sonic became suddenly tempted to change the subject. "So have you been able to finish that math homework? Question nine is a nightmare..."
"Sonic, we missed you this morning, why weren't you answering your phone?" Silver asked, interrupting Sonic. Still, the blue hedgehog didn't gave up.
"And that project on geography? That's until Thursday. We really need to get together on that one..."
"Sonic." Shadow stopped him firmly. "You at least have to give it a try, the water is amazing!"
"No. I didn't ask for any of this to happen, so stop bugging me about it." That was the last that Sonic said before he left. Silver and Shadow looked at each other and shrugged, feeling a little uncomfortable.
'I guess it's not going to be that easy.'
In the school yard
Sonic and his friends all study in the Emerald Hill High. It's one of the biggest schools in Emerald Coast, rivaling Water Palace High.
It was Monday, and the school yard was full of students chatting with each other. Sonic was alone, lost in thoughts. All of them disappeared when Bianca showed up.
"Hey Sonic!" She called. "You've got to come down to the beach!"
That was it. He snapped.
"Why?! Why does everyone want me to come down to the beach?!"
Bianca tried to calm him down.
"Hey, chill alright?
"Sorry..."he apologized." I'm kinda tense. What's going on? "
"I went to see the turtles laying their eggs this morning, it's just amazing!" She explained. Sonic smiled.
"That sounds nice!"
"Yeah, but I heard a rumor that one of them got caught in a fishing net heading back to sea." Bianca said sadly.
"Aw, really? That's so sad." Sonic agreed.
"Well, I gotta go. See ya!" she waved and left.
Sonic stopped by his locker and opened it, searching for the book he needed. Tails was walking by and spotted him. He stooped next to him.
"Hey Sonic, want to hang out to the mall later?" he proposed.
"Sorry... I'm busy." Sonic answered.
"Look, I know the... recent developments have hit you pretty hard, but you can't hide forever. Because, you are, you know... A merhog." Tails whispered.
"I am NOT one of those things! I never liked the water, and I never will!" the blue hedgehog snapped again and ran off.
Tails frowned and whispered for himself:
"So are you going to run away from water for the rest of your life?"
Later
"So are you done yet?"
Tails was walking out of the chemistry class with Knuckles and Amy. Silver and Shadow joined them from the next door that lead into the english class.
"He's just taking a little time to... Yeah, I'm done." the kitsune admitted.
Meanwhile, Sonic was walking down the stairs when he saw the group. They looked back at him.
"I'm sure he doesn't want to talk about it." Amy whispered.
"Don't worry, we can deal with this." Silver said. "It's like our thing. Come on Shadow."
Once they started walking towards him, Sonic turned around and grabbed the railing tight. He really didn't wanted talk about it, why wouldn't they just leave him alone?!
Silver and Shadow came behind him and his ivory friend gently grabbed shoulder and turned him around. Sonic kept his eyes on the ground and teeth gritted.
"Look..."Silver started." About this merhog business..."
"There are better things to do in life than seeing how long you can hold your breath for and frolicking with the dolphins!" Sonic interrupted.
"I don't frolic, I glide." Shadow answered as calm as possible.
"Forget it. It's not important." the blue hedgehog pouted.
"How can you say that?" Silver argued. "This is the most amazing thing that has ever happened to us. Probably the most amazing thing that has ever happened to anyone!"
"And what about the turtles?" Sonic asked.
Shadow looked confused.
"Turtles?"
"Aparently, a sea turtle got cought in a fishing net this morning. That is important. " Sonic explained.
"Hah!" Shadow laughed "I don't believe you... Faker!"
"What?"
"Sonic, your dad is a fisherman. His nets are the ones trapping all the turtles." Shadow shot.
Sonic was shocked. He was sure his dad won't do that. To be fair, he never asked him, but Mr Sertori was a fair person. So he shot back.
"That's not true. My dad won't do that."
"Really?"
That was it Sonic turned his back and ran off. He really needed to have a talk with his dad.
In the evening
"Sonic, coffee."
Sonic just came back from school with a pretty grim face and confidence down. He sat down
And now he had to ask what he had to ask.
"Dad?"
"Hm?"
"Have you ever caught any sea turtles?"
Mr Sertori looked confused.
"What kind of question is that?"
"It's simple." Sonic replied. "Have you ever caught any sea turtles in one of your nets?"
"Sonic, you know me." he seemed a little bit surprised. "I do what's right."
"That's not an answer."
Mr Sertori looked at his son's face and he saw that he really meant it. He sighted and put down his coffee.
"We do everything by the book. We have nets with grids in them. If a turtle gets cought, it is directed to an opening. Plus, we fish miles away from the nesting beaches."
"But some of the turtles are still getting cought."
"Well not by me." Mr Sertori explained. "And not by any fisherman that is doing the right thing."
Sonic sighted. He was a bit disappointed about the answer he has received but also relieved. At least his dad knew what he is doing.
In the morning
Silver and Shadow were speeding through the sea at about 60 miles per hour, an outstanding performance for them.
"Isn't the water great today? " Silver asked, using telepathy.
"It is indeed. Sonic has no idea what he's missing." Shadow answered.
"Don't you think you were a bit to harsh on him yesterday?"Silver lectured.
"Nah. Besides... STOP!" the ebony hedgehog screamed in his head and they came to a sudden stop.
"What's wrong with you?" Silver asked angrily.
"Look."
They were near a fishing boat and a net was right in front of them. Silver recognized it as the boat of Sonic's dad. The biggest problem was that a sea turtle was tangled in the net. And it was an illegal one.
"What is this boat doing here? We're close to Seaside Hill Beach and it's one of the no fishing zones. Fishing boats are not allowed in here!" Shadow said intrigued. "We've got to do something."
Silver swam closer and tried to untangle the net. Shadow teleported next to the boat, avoiding getting close to the net and listened.
"Come on Jack!" Someone yelled. "We don't have all day!"
Footsteps heading away from the railing. Shadow slowly raised his head out of the water, looked around, and he spotted a knife a few inches away. He grabbed it and headed back to his friend. Shadow used the knife to cut the net and managed to set the turtle free. He headed back and placed the knife exactly where he found it.
Once free, the turtle swam happily in circles around them and then left. The two hedgehogs smiled at each other and swam away with satisfaction.
At Marble Café
"Local fisherman have reported a possible menace from the deep after the supposed attack of a roughe shark..." the tv was jamming about what had happened that very morning. Everyone, Silver, Shadow, Bianca and others were watching curiously.
Then Sonic entered the café. Pretty confident, now that his dad assured him that he has never hurt a turtle.
"Hey guys, what's going on?"
"Sonic, your dad's on tv." Bianca responded.
He sat down next to his friends and looked at the screen. His dad was there indeed.
"I've been around here for a long time, and there is only one thing that can do so much damage. And that thing is a huge, rough shark." Mr Sertori said to the camera.
"Poor dad." Sonic said on a sorrowful tone.
"Sonic." Shadow whispered. He seemed a bit uncomfortable. "I'm sorry to disappoint you but your dad didn't catch a shark. It was a turtle. We... Cut the net to set it free."
Sonic was shocked.
"No way! My dad won't do that!"
Silver also looked really uncomfortable.
"It's true Sonic." he assured. "I'm sorry."
The blue hedgehog looked down. He felt sad, angry and disappointed at the same time. He really needed to have a talk with his dad. Again.
Later, at the harbor
Mr Sertori was in his boat, working on something. He felt a bit surprised when Eric told him about the shark. They had lost half of the catch and the net was shredded.
"Dad?"
He looked up and saw Sonic walking down the stairs into the cabin.
"Oh, hey Sonny. Haven't seen you in here for ages. Did you see me on tv?Did I look good? What about that shark ai?"
He stared at his son's face for a few moments and he realized that Sonic wasn't in the mood for jokes.
"You really don't know what gets caught in your nets do you?" Sonic asked.
"Is it about that turtle thing again?"
"Yeah!" Sonic said like it was obvious.
"Look." Mr Sertori took a deep breath. "We use the right nets, and we fish in the right spots. This is the law, and we don't break it."
"I'm really disappointed in you dad." Sonic declared shaking his head. Then he turned his back and ran off.
"Sonic?"
No answer. He sighted.
"Boss!"
Mr Sertori turned his head to the direction of the voice. It was Eric.
Eric was a gray wolf with blue eyes and Mr Sertori's right hand.
"I didn't knew you came back!" Eric exclaimed.
"Well it seems like I shouldn't leave either."
"Sorry I lost half of the catch." Eric apologized.
"It's ok Eric. No one can predict a shark attack. Not even me."
"The net was shredded!" the skipper continued.
Mr Sertori nodded and asked.
"Where is that net Eric?"
"Well I dumped it." Eric explained. "What was the point of keeping a wrecked net?"
"Yeah..."
At Marble Café
"He denied everything." Sonic complained to Silver and Shadow.
"That's awful." They sat down at a table. "And you know I couldn't just say 'Hey dad, I know you're lying because my merhog friends saw you fishing close to the nesting beaches!'
"He was using illegal nets too." Shadow informed.
"This just gets worse and worse! My dad!"
"Well, to be fair, we didn't actually see your dad there." Silver admitted.
"But it was his boat, right?"
Silver looked down.
"Right."
Later, at the harbor
"Great. Everyone on this side of the planet is looking for that stupid shark!" Shadow complained.
"Shark?"
They both turned their heads and they saw a gray wolf with blue eyes. He was sharpening a pretty massive fishing hook and he had a pair of protection goggles on his face.
"Don't you kids worry, wherever it is, it's sushi." he said, looking at them weirdly
Slowly, they started walking away, and the wolf returned to his assignment.
"Weirdo." Shadow murmured.
"For circus!" Silver contemplated.
"Well at least we can swim!"
"Nope, to dangerous." Silver said. "Let's face it, until this cooles down we're grounded."
At Marble Café
Sonic was looking in the distance, lost in thoughts. He was outside, leaning on a pillar.
"I know what you're thinking." A voice said behind him and a warm hand placed on his shoulder. Sonic didn't even bothered turning around. He already knew it was Amy.
"Shadow and Silver told us about it."
"Great. Now the whole world knows that my dad's a criminal." Sonic complained. He turned around to Amy. "What would you do?"
"Well, I would change my name and move to the country." The pink hedgehog said. "But that's just me."
"Your no help." Sonic sighted and turned back to his previous position.
"Well..." Amy said walking on his side. "At least it takes your mind off the... You know... Merhog thing."
Sonic bit his bottom lip. He was now dealing with a though decision. He knew that probably she is going to call him 'weak' or a coward but he just couldn't hide anything from Amy.
The blue hedgehog took in a deep breath.
"Ok. I'm scared of it. Is that what you wanted to hear?" Sonic confessed, avoiding her eyes. He was waiting tense for slap or something, but instead, Amy grabbed his hands and hold them tight.
"Sonic, everyone is scared of something!" she said, trying to make eye contact with him. "But you, you are amazing, you can do anything!"
"Just because I have these powers, doesn't mean I'm amazing."
That was the last he said before he blasted off, leaving Amy alone. She looked down at her empty hands and sighted sorrowfully.
"I didn't mean the powers."
In the evening
"So are you going to catch that shark tomorrow dad?"Lilly asked.
They were sitting at the dinning table, and their dad was getting the main plateau ready.
"Well, the authorities have put up a bounty. Everyone is going to be looking for it." Mr Sertori explained and placed the plateau on the table. "When we run into it, we'll pick it up."
Sonic was looking at the table absently, supporting his head with one hand.
"What's the matter Sonic?" his mom asked.
"I'm not hungry." Sonic groaned.
"It's fish!" Mr Sertori exclaimed. "Come on, eat."
"Like I said, I'm not hungry."
"But I cought it this morning! Fresh from the Esmeralda."
"The Esmeralda?" Sonic asked, suddenly interested. "I thought you were on your own boat."
"Well, when you're on three boats you've got to be flexible." his dad explained. " Dan is in hospital, I'm skippering the Esmeralda until he's back."
"So you weren't on your own boat this morning."
"I just explained!"
"So you don't know what it's been catching, or where it's been fishing?" Sonic kept asking. But his dad started to feel a bit annoyed.
"Look, Eric is skippering for me, I trust his judgment, he won't do anything wrong! Ok?"
Sonic smiled. It was like a stone was lifted off his heart. He was so relieved that he felt like to eat again. But there was one last thing he will have to check on tomorrow.
In the morning
"Hurry up Jack! I don't want to be the last one to leave again!"
Sonic was spying on his dad's boat, where Eric was yelling orders to Jack, another one of his dad's helpers. He was hiding behind some boxes and nets, trying not to be spotted.
"Come on, we're going to Emerald Beach today."
"Emerald Beach?" Jack asked. "But that's a no go zone."
"Do you have a problem with it Jack? I'm using the old nets too, do you have something to say?"
"Well, yeah, the boss won't like that."
"There is only one boss on this boat Jack and that's me!" Eric screamed. "Now get to work!"
Jack bit his bottom lip and obeyed. The boat started and slowly floated away. Sonic got out of his hiding place and ran to the edge of the wooden platform. He looked in the distance and chased the ship with his eyes.
"Hey, Sonic! What are you doing here?"
It was Knuckles. Sonic forgot that he was near one of the echidna's favorite fishing spots. He pointed out to the boat that was slowly disappearing in the horizon.
"Their using the wrong nets and going to the wrong place!" Sonic said.
"And what are you going to do?"
"I'm going after them. You go get the others!"
"But..."Knuckles tried to protest.
"Just go!"
Knuckles started walking in the opposite direction when he heard a splash. His eyes widened, and turned around. Sonic was nowhere to be seen, and the water was bubbling in a specific spot. He could only say one thing.
"Oh no!" and he ran to get the others as fast as he could.
Sonic, on the other hand, was now under water, with a fish tail, unable to breathe and about to get a panic attack. He was flapping his hands up and down, desperately trying to get to the surface, heavy task, counting the weight of his tail. He never learned how to swim, and doing it there, now, like this, was too much. Sonic was waiting now for him to sink like a rock to the bottom and drown, but it didn't happened. He started to calm down, realizing that he was still holding his breath without any problems. The blue hedgehog looked down at his tail and wiggled it. He smiled.
At Silver's house
"GUYS!!!"
Knuckles blasted into the house, almost breaking the door. He's already been at Marble Café, one of their common meeting points, but since they were not there Knuckles deduced that they might be at Silver's. Speaking of which, Silver and Shadow were walking down the stairs right at the moment.
"Knuckles?" Silver asked, a bit confused.
"So...nic. He'...s..s.. in the... the..."
"Speak! Like a normal person Knuckles!" Shadow demanded.
"In..in the water!" Knuckles finished with a note of panic.
"At last!" Shadow exclaimed.
"No... It's.. It's..."
Knuckles didn't finish the sentence, he just turned around and ran out the door. Silver and Shadow looked at each other, shrugged and followed Knuckles.
Near Emerald Beach
Jack just finished lowering the nets. He really didn't liked breaking the law or hurting the turtles. Speaking of which, he spotted one raising his head out of the water. He gulped.
'I guess I it won't hurt trying again.'Jack walked to the cabin where Eric was steering the boat.
"Skipp', there're turtles out there!"
"So?" Eric replied with no emotion whatsoever.
"We can't fish here, it's illegal."
"Listen here Jack." Eric started menacingly. "One more affirmation like that and your out of the job, understood?"
"Your playing a dangerous game, Eric."
"Wait!" Eric exclaimed. He looked at the radar again and smiled. "Look, that's big. It must be a shark! I'll turn the boat!"
Meanwhile, Sonic was kinda starting to enjoy swimming.
'Maybe Silver and Shadow were right. The water isn't that bad. And I wonder, if I can break the sound barrier on ground, maybe I can break it under water too! That would be wicked cool!'
He looked around at all the fish and turtles and smiled. But his smile dropped.
'What am I smiling about? The turtles are in danger! I can't just wonder around! I've got to find that boat!'
Sonic suddenly stopped. A net was right in front of him. He looked up and saw the boat he was looking for. So he started to swim up. Until he noticed that the net had hung up to his fin. Sonic tried to shake it off, but it only did worse.
In a few minutes, Sonic was warped in the net like in a blanket, but not a soft one. The plastic thread that the was made of was to tight around him, cutting off his blood circulation. Sonic felt like he was suffocating. What was he supposed to do now?
Meanwhile
'Are you sure that what Knuckles said is even remotely true?'
Silver and Shadow were speeding through the water, looking for the boat of Sonic's dad.
'Well, he said they were going to a no go zone for fishermen. The closest one is Emerald Beach. We might as well check there first.' Silver responded to Shadows question. 'I just hope Sonic didn't got himself into trouble. It wasn't a smart move to go there alone.'
'Wait!'
They both stopped.
'It's Sonic!' Silver said.
He was all tangled up in the net, with his eyes closed.
From the boat, Jack saw that the net was shaking violently and ran to Eric.
"You've got it skipp'." He informed. "The shark is in the net."
"Then pull it up!" Eric demanded. "Before he shreds that net too."
Jack ran back and pulled the laver to start the winch.
Underwater Shadow was trying to untangle the net from around Sonic. When the net started to move up.
'Silver!' he screamed. 'They're pulling him up, I don't have enough time, any help would be welcome, thank you very much!'
'I have a really strange feeling...'Silver said.
'Maybe that feeling means you should help me!'
'No, it's something else.' Silver continued. 'Like...'
He stopped. He could feel the water. Silver closed his eyes, and he could literally see what was happening at the surface. It was like he was there. He snapped his eyes open.
'I could see it!' Silver smirked. 'The winch, it's soaked!'
'And that means?' Shadow asked confused.
'That means I can do this.'
The ivory hedgehog stretched his arm and focused. He imagined the winch, he thought of the water, and on the surface, the water freezed, stopping the winch from pulling up the net.
"What the..?" Eric asked surprised.
Both him and Jack ran to the pulley and remained shocked. It was completely covered in a thick layer of ice.
Back with Silver and Shadow, they somehow managed to get Sonic out of the net and drag him to the surface. Once there, Sonic took a big gasp of air and opened his eyes.
"Are you alright?" Silver asked.
"Yeah, I panicked." Sonic answered, still gasping. "I didn't knew I could hold my breath for that long, but than I remembered what you guys said, and guess what? I lost count at 17 minutes and a half!"
"Well, he's ok, let's get out of here." Shadow huffed and dived under water.
Later, at the harbor
Sonic was waiting for his dad with a serious face. Now that he knew the truth, he really had to tell him.
"Hey Sonny!" he greeted as soon as he saw Sonic. "Something wrong?"
"Dad, there is something I have to tell you. And you are not going to like it."
Somewhere, on the other side of the harbor
"Did you got rid if the net?" Eric asked Jack, who just nodded in agreement. But then, the gray wolf heard another voice from behind him
"What net Eric?"
His boss.
"Did you hear me, Eric? I said what net?"
"The one...the.. the net that..." he babbled.
"Jack?" Mr Sertori called. "Would you like to tell me what's going on?"
"I would be happy to, boss." Jack answered, smiling.
In the evening
"I fired him. I trusted Eric and he broke every rule in the book!"
The Sertori family was getting ready for dinner, setting up the table.
"Must be tough for you dad." Lilly said.
"Well, the turtles are thanking you for this." Sonic thank in the name of the turtles.
"By the way, how did you know he was using the wrong nets and fishing in the wrong areas?" Mr Sertori asked curiously.
"A little birdie told me." Sonic smiled.
Suddenly, his phone called. Sonic looked at the screen.
Amy.
"Hello?"
"Sonic, are you alright? I heard what happened, is everything okay? Is..."
"Amy, calm down! Everything is fine."
"Really?"
"Yeah!"
"Oh, thank goodness! I was so worried!"
"You worry to much. But hey, tomorrow morning, at the beach. There is something I want to show you."
In the morning
Sonic was looking for Amy at the beach. He told her to meet at Knuckles's special fishing spot, best before sunrise. It wasn't completely dark, the sun was already starting to appear on the horizon.
He spotted Amy sitting on her knees between two boulders and approached her.
"Hey Sonic! Look! Turtle eggs!" Amy shrieked with glee.
"Aww." Sonic crouched down to take a better look at the small eggs.
"Little turtles are so cute!" Amy said. "I hope they all make it!"
She buried the eggs back in the sand.
"So, what did you wanted to show me? And why so early?"
"Well..." Sonic sat down next to her. "I thought the sunrise would be the best time you should see it."
"See what??"
Sonic smiled and stretched his hand forward. A thin tentacle of water raised from the sea, growing in hight more and more until Sonic used his power to curve it into an arch. The sun was almost in position.
"Ready?" Sonic asked.
"Ready." She answered.
The sun was now right above the horizon. Sonic let go of the water and it started falling like a water fall. The sun intercepted the water drops, and formed a beautiful rainbow.
"Wow!"Amy exclaimed."It's so pretty!"
"I told you that the sunrise was the best time you should see it." Sonic smiled.
Amy sighted with happiness and laid her head on his shoulder, and they continued watching the beautiful view, together.
Hey guys! Mallory here. As you might have noticed, this chapter was a little bit longer than the other two, so it took me some time to write, but it's done now! And the ending is, not really the real one, but I thought that the ending from the actual episode didn't really fit in, so I thought I change it. Not really the most complex one but I think it was a good way to end the chapter. Till next time! Take care.
